No, it's the next 45 combined.

Bearing in mind the Russian plan to re-life their sunshine generators, it’s an interesting time for Brown the Humourless to offer a reduction in ours. Maybe he is a great Visionary!

Gordon Brown pushes for world reduction in nuclear weapons as he makes Iran offer | Politics | guardian.co.uk


The UK is to push for a new multilateral deal to reduce the number of nuclear weapons stockpiled around the world, Gordon Brown said today, as he pledged that Britain was "ready" to reduce its own number of Trident warheads
These chaps have kept their eye on the Russian balls for over 20 years (formerly the Conflict Studies Research Centre) http://www.da.mod.uk/colleges/arag/clusters I stopped reading their Russian stuff 10 years ago as it no longer seemed that relevant. Perhaps I was wrong.

Good feature on BBC Newsnight last night on the Russians, including footage and interviews taken on a Russian airbase, incl the new Su-34, and how they have ramped up their montly flying hours etc.,etc.
